You might need to make adjustments like that for
exotic display devices. For example, say you
are using a projector and projecting the
desktop environment in an auditorium. That
might require some optimization.

Good point. The OP said he'd just bought a laptop, so I assumed he just
wanted to tweak the settings for the inbuilt hardware and screen, but
you might be right.

In the old days, gamma came in handy in a mixed Mac/PC
environment. The two platforms used a different gamma.
